Is Dr. Rose conflating two issues? I have problems with it from an ethical point of view. If I understand it correctly, however, nobody is being deprived of the opportunity to pass on his or her genes. The question is whether one is to be allowed to know the person whose genes have been passed on? Are they not two different matters? If what Dr. Rose is talking about is a provision that will allow genetic intervention to ensure a future child may be able to pass on his or her genes, that is a different right to the right to know whose genes one has.
